Idea Commercialization

Idea Commercialization is a flagship initiative of the Boma Prize for Africa that empowers university students to transform innovative ideas and research into sustainable businesses and impact-driven solutions.

Delivered in partnership with JA Ghana and YUTEC at the Regional Maritime University, Accra, the six-week program provided hands-on training, expert mentorship, startup coaching and pitch opportunities. Participants develop entrepreneurial, leadership, and innovation skills while aligning their ideas with climate action and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Through this program, BPFA supported and refined over 10 student-led innovations while strengthening university-industry partnerships through mentorship and professional networking.
